Chapter 10: Firework
"I'm courting on you guys to operate as usual from now on," Zen said, on his horse with Shirayuki in the front. It was rare that she would ride with Zen, so it made Shirayuki happy to be riding with him.
"Yes, Sir!" All the man yelled, standing by the big door to the castle.
"Bye Shirayuki, I will be writing letters to you every day!" Shuka said, looking at Shirayuki on Zen's horse.
"Bye Shuka, and thank you! I will look forward to them." Shirayuki replied, looking back at Shuka.
"Be careful! Thank you!" All the man yelled, waving goodbye. Zen looked at them with a smile.
"There is a lot that can be gained from being outside. Experiencing this country in a new way, with all the people living here. Discovering things we hadn't known before, like with Shirayuki and the child she carries." Zen thought to himself. He rested his hand on her stomach and the other held on the reigns. Shirayuki laid her head back on Zen's chest, and smiled as she heard his heart beat.
"Let's get going." Zen said, hit his legs on the side of the horse to get the horse going. Shirayuki put her hand on top of the one that Zen has on her stomach. She looked up at Zen while Zen was looking down at Shirayuki, she touched his face and pull him in for a kiss. Mitsuhide and Kiki look at one another and smile.
They got to a town and saw a sign up on a wall that said "Fireworks Festival." Looking at the sign on the wall Shirayuki said, "Zen." Zen stop the horse and looked at Shirayuki then looked elsewhere, then seeing the flyer.
"Do you want to go?" Zen whisper in her ears sending a chill down her spine. Shirayuki looked up at him and nod her head. Zen got off the horse and help Shirayuki down. "We are going to watch the firework tonight. Is that alright?" Zen asked, looking at Mitsuhide, Kiki, and Obi.
"Yes I think that will be fine." Mitsuhide answer, getting of his horse following by Kiki and Obi. Zen walked in a building holding Shirayuki hand. They sat down at a round table.
"What would you guys like?" The female waiter said, handing out the menu to everyone. "Would you guys want to try the sushi?" She said, looking at Shirayuki.
"Um..." Shirayuki said, looking at Zen.
"She can't have Sushi." Zen said for Shirayuki.
"Oh ok, I will give you guys some time to think what you want." The writer said, walked away.
"What about this, Zen." Shirayuki said, pointing to a picture on the menu. Zen read what the name of it.
"Roast Pork with Tamarind Gravy. That sound good." Zen said, looking at Shirayuki.
"Yep, she is defiantly pregnant." Obi laugh, looking up and saw Zen was glaring at him.
An hour later, they finish their food and walked to the lake where the fireworks were at. Zen held Shirayuki in his arms while he was sitting on the ground, having Shirayuki in his lap. "Master, why can't you hold me in your arms like that." Obi teasing. Zen glared at him and Obi knew that look, "Shut up or you will regret it," so Obi remained quiet. The fireworks went off and the whole sky was lit up with fireworks.
Shirayuki lay back on Zen's chest and looking up at the sky. "It so beautiful, Zen." Shirayuki said, looking up at him.
"Yes it is." Zen said, looking down at Shirayuki. After the firework were over they walked to an inn to stay the night.
See you next time...
